I know that many of you have asked us about this. How we can hide some controls, so that a certain users will not be able to use them.
Ok, me and one of our developers decided to provide this solution for you.
Firs we create a class in our App_Code folder. Our class should inherit form Telerik.Cms.Web.EditPage. Then, we override CreateChildControls method and we find Toolbox control by ID. We get the ID of the expandPanel and controlsLoader controls. Thus, we can access the DropDownPanel and hide the controls.
using System.Web.UI;
using Telerik.Cms.Web;
using Telerik.Cms.Web.UI;
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for HackEditPage
/// </summary>
///
// we inherit from Telerik.Cms.Web.EditPage
public class HackEditPage : EditPage{public HackEditPage()
{//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}// override chind controls
protected override void CreateChildControls(){base.CreateChildControls();
//find the tollbar by ID
ToolBar toolbar = this.Form.FindControl("toolBar") as ToolBar;// set null to the tollbox
Toolbox toolbox = null;
// reverse all controls in toolbar controls
foreach (Control c in toolbar.Controls){if (c is Toolbox){toolbox = c as Toolbox;
break;
}}if (toolbox != null){// find the container
Control control = toolbox.FindControl("controlsContainer");
control = control.FindControl("controlsLoader");
foreach (Control c in control.Controls){// get the drop down panel and hide the sections from it.
DropDownPanel panel = c as DropDownPanel;
if (panel != null&& (panel.Text == "Most popular" || panel.Text == "Custom")&& User.IsInRole("administrators"))
{panel.Visible = false;
}}}}}
Finally change ~/Sitefinity/Admin/EditPage.aspx as below:
<%@ Page Inherits="HackEditPage, App_Code" MasterPageFile="~/Sitefinity/Dummy.master" %>
Many tanks to Parvan!
